Ok, after some digging I got an alias to work. I have no idea why it works when nothing else I tried would but here it is anyway. I think it is best to paste the following into your .git-config file directly:
up = "!git push -u origin `git symbolic-ref --short HEAD`"
or if you have git 2.22
up = "!git push -u origin `git branch --show-current`"
Git assumes the current branch implicitely, so the following also works:
Even better is to use a git alias for this:
so you can use it like
$ git up
.If you think you need to explicitly specify the branch anyway you can define an alias like this:
Nice! Thank you for the tips!
The
git up
alias is perfect.Not specifying the branch still gives me a
Fatal: The current branch has no upstream
. Any ideas why?Did you specify the
-u
flag?Yep, I copied and pasted this exactly
git config --global alias.up 'push -u origin'
yeah, looks like I have the same issue!
